High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Greatest Hits is a compilation album by Swedish pop group ABBA, released in 1975 (see 1975 in music). Greatest Hits was rush-released in Scandinavia in November 1975 to counter expected import sales of similar collections released by licencees in Europe, such as French Disques Vogue`s ABBA`s Greatest Hits and West German Polydor`s The Best Of ABBA. The album was the best selling album of 1976 in the UK, the second best selling album of the 70s in the UK, and is the second-best selling album in the UK for ABBA, staying in the charts for 130 weeks. The album was certified Platinum in the US. Its compilation successor was Greatest Hits Vol. 2, released in 1979, and this album was later referred to as "Greatest Hits Volume 1".
